    That is an A-Max target bullet...they will separated like that
    Yep, after reading up "the internet" says not suitable for hunting.... They Work great, like a bomb going off in em.
    100% energy dump into the deer. Which DRT's them. Not one step. Neck, high shoulder, pump, lungs no matter. All shots were under 100 maybe if shooting 200+ might not work as well.
    The x39 win defender (sd) rounds do the same thing.
    Can't find the pix, but knocked on onto his back, looked like a dead roach. ( neck shot)

    @Rebel_Rider1969 your just not supposed to do that...so you might want to keep it on the down low...but they will hold together better farther out. I have seen what a 142gr Sierra MatchKing @ 600 does to one when it is DRT.

    had your lead levels checked recently ;)

    I recently bought some factory seconds that appear to be 140 ELD-Xs. Hoping to take a deer this year with one......
